Nervously clicking the reload button to check A Place to Bark's ranking in the Network for Good Grant challenge. A Place to Bark has dropped to 3rd place!! yipes!! We need to keep it there so that we can get this $50k grant, if we drop any lower we could be out of the running. This is so stressful!!! And we have 1.5 days to go!! If you know of ANYONE who can donate $10 now is the time! akkk!!!

Hi Claudine~As per your tele-summit presentation, you inspired me to set up a blogspot and to post about the "A Place To Bark" Challenge today! I made a donation, set up the donation badge on my blog and sent out about a hundred emails with a link to it! It sure can't hurt!!I'll mention it again tomorrow morning in my Spirit Art Blog! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, your friend Bernie and all our four legged friends as well!!

Wow! A raffle to get more donors! how creative! I got off the computer and put out a few phone calls and 1 friend wrote back with this--thought it might encourage others to keep calling friends! "Hi Jood! Vale has now donated, I reminded Diane that she needed to get her donation done before Thursday (she said she would), I left a message for a fellow volunteer who would probably donate if she gets the message in time, and Fred donated $50 this evening.":-) jood

Claudine-you other bloggers have motivated me! Here's update from a friend I called today asking her help in eliciting donors "No problem I sent out about 30 emails to family and friends. Hope that Bernie gets the grant." AND I did up a quick poster/thingie (4 slips to a page) my friend is taking to a doggie event tonight! jood
